SUBJECT: Grain Ounce Equivalencies of Kellogg’s® Food Away From Home Products

Thank you for your interest in using our products as part of your National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs. The attached table outlines the ounce equivalents (oz eq) of grain for a variety of our products according to the Nutrition Standards in the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs published by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) in the Federal Register on January 26, 2012 and USDA Policy Memo SP 30‐2012. After July 1, 2014, only grain products that qualify as whole grain‐rich may be credited.

In the USDA Policy Memo SP 30‐2012, Grain Requirements for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, dated April 26, 2012, a product must either use the crediting equivalency of 16 grams of creditable (whole and/or enriched) grains per oz eq OR fulfill the weight requirement listed in Exhibit A: School Lunch and Breakfast ‐ Whole Grain‐Rich Ounce Equivalency (Oz Eq) Requirements For School Meal Programs.

All Kellogg's® brands listed in the attached table, with the exception of the Cereal Category, are eligible within the program, using the standard of 16 grams of creditable grains to equal 1 oz eq of grain. Ready‐to‐ eat cereals and hot cereals must qualify based on the serving sizes outlined in Exhibit A.

 CEREALS ‐‐ Under Group H Breakfast Cereals (Cooked) and Group I Ready‐To‐Eat , 1 oz eq is equal to 1 ounce of cereal. Because cereals must qualify based on their serving size, the amount of creditable grains is not detailed in the table that follows.

I certify that the above information is true and correct, and that each Kellogg's® product fulfills the grain ounce equivalents listed in the table that follows.

*To identify whole grain‐rich products, schools can use the following two element test: Element 1: The food must meet the oz eq requirements for the grains component defined in SP 30‐2012. Element 2: The food must meet at least one of the following: a. The whole grains per oz eq must be ≥ 8 grams for Groups A‐G. b. The product includes the FDA‐approved whole grain health claim on its packaging. c. Product ingredient declaration lists whole grain first. SP 30‐2012 also requires that ready‐to‐eat (RTE) breakfast cereal list a whole grain as the primary ingredient. However, per SP 10‐2012, when the whole grain content comes from multiple ingredients, documentation may be provided showing that the whole grains are the primary ingredient by weight even though a whole grain is not listed as the first ingredient. Please refer to USDA Policy Memos SP 10‐2012 revised 8/17/13 and SP 30‐2012 issued 4/26/12 for more information on the USDA Whole Grain‐ Rich criteria.
